Hi all,
on my install i have:
XOOPS_ROOT_PATH >>> /srv/www/htdocs/my_xoops_install
I need to extract "my_xoops_install" from the path
and put it in a variable (ex. $folder).
How can i get it?
Thanks in advance,ralf.

$folder = substr(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH, strrpos(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH, '/') + 1);


P.S. If this is intended for a module, or code that others would use, it needs to be more general (handle \ as well as /), and maybe should check for errors such as XOOPS_ROOT_PATH having a trailing /.

This also seems to work:

$folder = basename(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH);


basename is intended for extracting a filename, not a directory name. But since directory names and filenames are syntactically indistinguishable, I guess there's nothing wrong with using basename for this purpose.
